Setup PHP: Command Injection in Repository-Derived PHP Version Resolution

CVE-2026-46420

Description

Summary

A command injection vulnerability was identified in shivammathur/setup-php when the action resolves the PHP version from repository-controlled files and uses that value while generating the platform setup script.

In affected versions, setup-php may read the PHP version from:

.php-version
composer.lock via platform-overrides.php
composer.json via config.platform.php

If an attacker can influence one of these files and the workflow executes setup-php in a trusted context, they may be able to execute commands on the GitHub Actions runner.

Impact

This issue is exploitable when setup-php is run after checking out attacker-controlled repository contents and resolves the PHP version from repository files.

The most significant example is a privileged workflow such as pull_request_target that checks out untrusted pull request code before invoking setup-php. Similar risk can also arise in other workflows that operate on attacker-controlled refs, branches, or repository contents in a trusted context.

This is not a separate security boundary when an attacker can already modify the workflow definition itself or directly control the php-version workflow input, since that level of access already permits arbitrary command execution in GitHub Actions.

Technical details

In affected versions, repository-derived PHP version values were insufficiently constrained before being incorporated into the generated shell or PowerShell setup script executed by the action. This could allow attacker-controlled values from supported repository files to influence script execution in trusted workflow contexts.

Remediation

If you are using shivammathur/setup-php@v2, no action is needed on your end. Users who pin the setup-php release version or release version SHA should upgrade to a patched version.

The fix validates PHP version inputs, constrains manifest-derived versions, hardens script generation at the execution, and includes additional checks in related input-handling paths.

Command injection in shivammathur/setup-php when PHP version is derived from attacker-controlled repository files in trusted workflow contexts.

Vulnerability

A command injection vulnerability exists in shivammathur/setup-php when the action resolves the PHP version from repository-controlled files such as .php-version, composer.lock (via platform-overrides.php), and composer.json (via config.platform.php) [1][3]. In affected versions, the derived version values are insufficiently constrained before being incorporated into the generated shell or PowerShell setup script, allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary commands [3]. All versions prior to the fix commit eeef37e059fb5368a5bc8ed8ce45ff54bd39b80b are vulnerable; users using the @v2 tag are safe [4].

Exploitation

An attacker must be able to influence the repository files that setup-php reads (for example, via a pull_request_target workflow that checks out untrusted pull request code) and the workflow must execute setup-php in a trusted context [3]. The attacker places a crafted PHP version string containing shell metacharacters in one of the supported files. When setup-php runs, it generates and executes a script using that value without proper escaping, leading to command injection [4].

Impact

Successful exploitation allows the attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the GitHub Actions runner with the privileges of the workflow [3]. This can lead to exfiltration of secrets, modification of build artifacts, or further lateral movement within the CI environment [3]. The impact is particularly severe in privileged workflows like pull_request_target that operate on untrusted inputs [4].

Mitigation

Users who pin a specific release version or SHA should upgrade to the patched version (commit eeef37e059fb5368a5bc8ed8ce45ff54bd39b80b or later) [2][4]. If using the @v2 tag, no action is required [4]. No workaround is available for vulnerable pinned versions; the fix includes validation of PHP version inputs, constraining manifest-derived versions, and hardening script generation [4].
